cool vid but buy a tripod

[askdanna]

Great job with this! I grew up in Odell. Many moons ago .. lol

[fjeffrey10]

How come there aren't any sirens going off?

[Alexajg]

cool

[91JDub]

very good video, i took some of several tornadoes and this was probably one of them, although the tornado i saw over odell was way bigger than this. there were so many coming down though that it was easy to miss a few.

It was all the same tornado but it had multiple vortexes!!! I saw it pass over Morris about 3pm that day! I thought for sure we were going to get hit but it blew over us! It was huge and scary and reminded me of the Plainfield tornado in 1990! It went 15 miles south of us and hit Wilmington, Odell, knocked over hight tension towers on I-57 and then went back NE and hit suburbs of Chicago!! Had it stayed on the ground, it would have been devastating! It was classified as an EF5 !

i live in pontiac but the ironic thing was i went on vaction earlier that week

[Yarndt]

We're around 4 hours south of you. We could see the lightning from those storms!

[matteng1997]

I live in Pontiac,IL. We had the sirens go off, and the storm blew right over us.

[squeaky3]

hey some guys that live in odell wanted to know where you live at

[sharong58]

very good video . . I was mesmerized! I live in Morris and it went over us from north to south about 3pm. I was watching it for a long time and knew someone was going to get hit.

After it blew over us in Morris, the temp dropped 10 degrees in a matter of minutes! I think we got the back winds from it. Had it stayed on the ground, it could easily have turned into an F4! Had all the makings of the Plainfield tornado from 1990. It came from the north too.

you know ive noticed that alot of people are no longer running for protection when there is a tornado they are running for their video cameras. just an observation,

[inagod]

beautiful country,farming community?respect mother nature,many people have lost there lives by not using common sense,thanks for the video,and please hold the camera still.

[JerseyTropics1]

Why would anybody want to live there?

[bevshores]

And to think you used to make fun of my videos. What were you doing taking pictures when the tornado was only 3 miles away?!!!

[poisonparadise]

I live in Dwight. I heard the sirens go off, but didn't see anything. Thanks for posting.

[kron0725]

[xee00]

[owenowen]

Thanks for doing a nado video without the constant stupid comments I'm used to hearing that take away from the actual video. Next time use your girlfriends head as a tripod

[conwizzlo717]

didnt u hear me?! there is NO such thing as "TORNADOES" just APPLE JUICE.

[meerkatmandude]

I've never seen a real tornado without the use of TV or Video Camera.

Plus I'm not planing to see a real tornado up close.

[aerosmithfan27]

i live in mundelein and i had to run home when the siren was going off and a tornado was forming right behind my house and that is one that touched down! it was kindaa scary lol im just 14!

[LittleCloserBoi]

Great footage. I was up northeast in frankfort, it touched down there I believe. Unfortunately I didnt see anything. Glad nobody was hurt though.

[meerkatmandude]

Chicago has some very wild weather...

I was looking at the radar on My PC and listiening to the weather radio. The storm was about 3 towns south of were I live. It was scary be that close to a tornado.

Plus I had the weather radio up and running, on battery power.

[pocketkiriyama]

great video! I was about to leave chicago on the night of the 7th but my parents called and told me not to leave until it passes over. Recently someone told me that a tornade touched down on I-57. If i went I would've been right in the middle of it. Guess I'll have to wait till morning daylight

[conwizzlo717]

there are no such things as "tornadoes"

just apple juice

[KimmySue1983]

This is great! I live in Odell and was forced to leave town(I have no basement...lol) and go into Pontiac. I was on Rt.66 and got a pic. of when it was first touching down. And took another went it went back up. It was pretty freaky but, I'm glad that noone got hurt. Awesome footage! Thank you for showing what I missed out on!

[JJumpJenny]

Thank you for taping, you did a great job!

[fishmeats]

I live in Valparaiso IN. I wanted to see it so bad but it was too far west and rain wrapped! oh well, next time!

[jenikat]

That is freakin scary!

[skylershelby]

amazing!

[BlackJesusFTL]

Awesome

[theZombiepocalypse]

I live in Ottawa, down in LaSalle County, and we never get this type of weather. It always seems to pass us on by. Of course, that's probably a blessing, but I won't deny that I find severe weather pretty fascinating,

[troygawron]

Hit near top of Lake zurich was half of an F1 at 46 MPH wind

[rustysaxophone]
